Pond Boss Forums MANAGING AN EXISTING POND Feeding Feed question/advise

Cam:

I hope this response isn't too general to be of any use.

If you actually have a need (or even just a concern) to provide short term emergency aeration, O2 can be added to the water with outboard motors, mowers/bush hogs on tractors, trassh pumps splashing water from the pond back into it; any number of means to churn up the water. On a small pond, emergency horizontal aeration could even be done with a trolling motor and battery (although I'm not sure emergency horizontal aeration would always be a good idea).

You might want to start a thread under aeration, giving your questions concerning it and details about the pond - size, depth, age, surrounding areas (trees, IIRC). I have been able to glean that electricity is not immediately available at the pond. Do you have access to electricity farther away from it? Long term, aeration can be sent to the pond via a pipeline for the air.
